George Augustus Robinson arrived in Melbourne in late February 1839 to take up his position as Chief Protector in the Aboriginal Protectorate in the Port Phillip District of New South Wales. In late 1849, the government decided to abolish the Protectorate Department, and accordingly in March 1850 the department ceased to exist. This special volume publishes in one single volume four previously published volumes of his papers: PART ONE: publishes the Office Journal of the Chief Protector's Office, and with few exceptions, the entries were made by Robinson's personal clerks. Entries by all clerks, bar McGill and Dallimore, have survived, and are here published. PART TWO: publishes Robinson's Aboriginal Vocabularies - which is a collection of Robinson's field notes and Aboriginal vocabularies from south east Australia collected from 1839 until 1852. These notes complement Robinson's private journals. PART THREE: Miscellanea which is a collection of Aboriginal vocabularies, sketches, and other oddments. PART FOUR: Annual and Occasional Reports, 1841-49 is a collection of Official Reports from the Chief Protector. APPENDIX: Database of European and Aboriginal staff employed by the Port Phillip Aboriginal Protectorate, 1839-1853
